Rebroadcast: A Conversation With Author Katherine Boo

Before her book was published in 2012, Katherine Boo was known primarily for her investigative reporting on people living in poverty in the United States.

She is a staff writer at The New Yorker, and worked as a journalist for the Washington Post, where she won a Pulitzer Prize. She was also awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2002. Boo's book, "Behind the Beautiful Forevers," chronicles life in a slum in Mumbai, India. She won the National Book Award in 2012, and her work has been translated into a play, which is currently running in London.

We listen back to our conversation with Katherine Boo, which took place at Literary Arts  on April 24, 2015.
